The naps im doing the same, your putting in alot of effort, it will be worth it. The walks also are great im trying to encourage myself to get out more.
Iv been listening to audio books as to help teach myself to quiten my mind to assit with successful meditation and i must say its working.
Not sure how you feel about meditation but id say if you havent give it a try, it really helps bring my feet back to the ground when im not feeling good.
I hope everything works itself out for you and your doing all the right stuff, its nice to hear from you.

What can I say, itās so sad 
It is big news overhere too in the Netherlands. I canāt imagine to live in a country where it is allowed (en even a right) to wear a gun. I would scare me the shit out of me if I saw someone here with one on his hip.
I know I canāt discuss politics here and I do not want to either. Itās just a side of another country I do not understand. It makes me sad. All those kids.

Thank you @GOKU2019 
@Butterflymoonwoman A huge congratulations! Iām so happy for you!
@Charlie_C Okay, Iām impressed by the installing a new toilet thing. 
Iāve occasionally eyed mine and wondered how hard it would be, but really I donāt have the guts to do it.
@Mno the art is awersome, and that church backgroundā¦ Just wow on the architecture .
@Noshame No reason not to brag! Itās a cool ring and you had the money because you didnāt blow it on an addiction. 
@anon53116147 Day 2 is better than day 0. Keep pushing forward. Youāll get there.

Good on you for getting to day2, itās not easy and we all know that.
You know you can get through this, bumps along the road i see you getting over them.
Itās hard to not let the viscous circle repeat over and over especially if your feeling low, i know its easier said than done but dont let those low feelings and thoughts keep you in a dark place.
Your power is you get back up and start again thatās a huge strength all in itself.
Your here and your will power will kick in, Iām glad your still here fighting it, when I relapsed I didnt come back for 2 years, so notice your strength and notice the good your doing too.
We beat ourselves up and forget to notice where we do well and it is a battle.
Iām glad you havenāt given up, you came back and 2 days is huge I want you to know that 2 days is huge and Iām proud your here still and fighting it.

Hey guys. I have been missing lately.
So I had a relapse on 2 consecutive days. After the first relapse, I really felt shameful and I wanted to cry so badly. On tuesday, I was still feeling that way, so I relapsed again. I felt really hopeless.
I wanted to reach you guys but felt really shameful.
So I am back at day 1.
Starting journaling as from today, will be watching 1 videos on nofap everyday and will also read about it.
I said it before but was not actually doing it. I realised that I need to do the work consistently to see changes.
Thank you guys for being here.
Have a great day. Peace.

Hit 30,000 minutes (or 3 weeks 
) sober today.
Pretty chilledā¦ worked a bit, played games for a bit, took dog for a walk, had therapy session, joined my first online AA meeting, took the kids to football training, had a couple of AF ciders at the pub. Made some plans for the weekend.
Managed to find more joy in the little things rather than always chasing the next āhighā. Simply feeling contentment is my main aim and I think Iām slowly getting there

Day 26.
An evening rain shower looking North at 9.06pm. I love when the sun starts to set so far to the North, although Iām glad for blackout curtains so that we can get to sleep at a reasonable hour at this time of the year.

Day 100
I just want to thank everyone for the likes and the congratulations on triple digits!! Thanks so much for the posts!!!.. @Chiron @goku2019 @Mbwoman @Twizzlers @Its_me_Stella @SoberWalker @kat261 @LaDyLooNtje @rosacando @Miranda
Today has been busy but good. Went to get some groceries and get out my hubbys 2 rings from pawn! What a relief not to be paying the interest anymore on those every month. 1 step closer to get things taken care of Just ate lunch and now going to do some cleaning and wait for hubby so far a pretty good day. I need to decrease my caffeine consumption tho. I have seen others on here quit caffeine and I never understand how caffeine can he an issue. I have such a high tolerance for caffeine at this point that Iām struggle to gain energy naturally. And to be honest I canāt consume enough caffeine to give me the energy I need thruout the day. I take 1 scoop of my pre-workout every morning for exercise and I rarely feel anything from it. Then cold brew coffee, water, and then coffee in the afternoon, and sometimes a starbucks triple espresso shot energy drink. I drink it like water. So I think I might try to decrease my caffeine and maybe get rid of it all together. I need to reset my energy levels badly. This is awful 
But other than that, I am doing well I hope u all are having an amazing day!

Hey Katie- I know how you feel. I stopped working in hospitality and it really took me stepping away from that kind of work, and getting into a routine to feel better and get sober.
Weekends were a huge trigger for me too.
Have you got some hobbies you can focus on, some good books? Do you like being in nature or swimming?

Checking in- 57 days.
I feel like Iām in limbo a little bit lately. Stuck in between my old life, of partying and working late etc, and my new life. I havenāt really set down the foundations of my new life properly, so itās a bit of a strange place to be. The in between.
Anyway- thanks for listening. Great to see everyoneās progress, you guys are awesome!

Football Manager will definitely keep you distracted, I think I clocked over 200hrs on the latest one. A very worthwhile purchase for recovery time!
